COMBAT MISSIONS is the most grueling physical and mental TEAM competition
ever staged.

It is a competition exclusively for America's Elite.teams of Special Forces
veterans from the ranks of such organizations as the Navy SEALS, Delta
Force, SWAT, and Army Rangers.just to name a few.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR A FEW GOOD TEAMS. If you serve or have served on any U.S.
Special Force or Law Enforcement Tactical Unit, and can put together a team
of four (4), WE WANT YOU. If you are a qualified individual wanting to be
placed on a team, we want you, too.

When our COMBAT MISSIONS are over, only one team of true heroes will
remain.still holding the flag.and a fresh crisp tankful of official U.S.
Greenbacks.
